Physical media collectors rejoice, low-cost 4k UHD
Panasonic 4k UHD Blu-ray player DP-UB154P-K In today’s modern world of streaming media services galore, some might argue why companies are still supporting plastic disc based media. I’ve had this complaint levied against me I’m fact, as old school CD, DVD, Blu-ray collector. My reasons are simple; while PQ picture quality might be comparable, the audio seldom is, with various services thinning down Dolby and DTS audio bandwidth on streaming services, compared to disc based media holding far more capacity at far higher depth bitrate sampling rates. In fact some services don’t even offer the Dolby Atmos track that we can get on 4k UHD Blu-ray Disc. Another reason for owning discs is you own your personal copy of the movie, to watch anytime, not sit behind a paywall hoping the streamer doesn’t pull it before you intend to watch again, or their license rights expire. I was surprised to find this Panasonic 4k UHD player after a seemingly long absence in the category. Previously I was concerned when Sony discontinued their previous high end 4k player (UBP-X800?) to retool it stripping some features I was compelled to purchase a backup. I can say this Panasonic is a fraction of the original price of the Sony players and outperforms it. If you maintain a disc based library and are looking to upgrade Blu-ray to 4k UHD you could spend much more, though imho you don’t really need to. Pros + compact + occupies little rack space + impeccable picture quality + high resolution audio support + picture quality calibration controls l Cons -no display screen -plastic construction feels sub par -power transformer instead of IEC cable Conclusion: The product could be better (front display screen, etc) but for the price of this you’re getting a high quality 4k image that even makes traditional non-4k images look outstanding.

Plays anything
Plays all major disc formats - DVD, Bluray, 4k bluray and 3D bluray, You of course need a 3D or 4k TV for those benefits. Upconverts DVD and Bluray discs to improve picture sharpness. The remote control is tiny and easy to lose.

Too Basic
The Panasonic DP-UB154P-K is a decent 4K Blu-ray player, but for me it skips out on too many features to make it worth buying. At this point in my mind, anybody buying 4K Blu-ray discs is getting them in order to experience the best quality the movie has to offer and no support for Dolby Vision is a letdown for me. The lack of Wi-Fi is disappointing as well, though historically the apps built into Blu-ray players have been subpar so I can somewhat forgive that. Another strange omission is there is no HDMI cable in the box, so you'll need to order one or make sure you have one that's compatible. As a Blu-ray player it's dead simple to use and I appreciate that about it. There's a single HDMI output for video and an Ethernet port for wired internet to update the player firmware and access BD Live features. The remote is compact and all the buttons are laid out intuitively, but there's no volume controls on it, so you'll need to utilize a second remote for that (or if you have one you can program for the player). Image quality and playback is smooth and despite the lack of Dolby Vision support HDR10+ still looks just as good if the movie supports it. Overall it's not a bad 4K Blu-ray player, but it feels like an incomplete package and there are options from Sony that have Dolby Vision and Wi-Fi support that don't cost that much more.

Simple, and fast. Great UHD BD Player
The Panasonic DP-UB154 is Panasonic’s budget option for 4k UltraHD playback. The unit is small, simple and to the point. Unencumbered by the expectations of a smart player, this blu-ray player focuses on the mantra: “do one thing and do it right”. With this I find no fault. First I’ll skip any pretense and make a recommendation. If you’re an AV enthusiast and non-techy, non-gamer, or have a dedicated movie space, this is the player for you. Literally put the disk in and play like DVD players of old. The primary competition for any UHD player right now are game consoles. But since the death of the Xbox One S, there are really no budget options in that space right now, especially with digital only being pushed. While I’ve used an Xbox One S in the UHD player role it’s not ideal. With the fact that even starting my old Xbox One S, updating it, launching a movie, etc… is an exhausting process (for a UHD player only), the UB154 is a breath of fresh air. The UB154 is a small unit, under 13” wide. The left side is the disc tray, which is a traditional ejection tray (supporting standard and mini discs). There are only 2 buttons on the device: power and eject. On the back you also find simplified ports with an MVP of DC power, HDMI, and 10/100 ethernet. This player does not have WiFi, so keep that in mind for your setup. In my case, I wired my home theater a long time ago, so it’s a non-issue. That said, you shouldn’t need to do firmware updates too regularly (although mine did initially after powering on). The included remote is pretty basic. It’s not backlit or really comfortable in the hand. Buttons are small, but it’s effective for when you need all the controls. Ideally CEC is what you’d use on a day to day basis, but I had trouble initially with it. CEC will let you use your TV or receiver remote to control the playback of the blu-ray. I won’t blame my troubles on this device, but my rather finicky Marantz receiver. Software wise, this device does seem to support the basic ‘photo’, ‘video’, ‘audio’, ‘disc’ options. None of these are network enabled (unless you consider the BD Live functionality), but instead rely on either the disc drive or USB to read media. I’m not sure, in a world of connected services, and streaming devices you’d ever need this functionality but it’s there. Besides that, basic playback and information support is found. The settings menu lets you dive into a few deep settings, but overall keeps things simple. Setup correctly identified my projector as 4k and not-3d (which this device appears to support 3D, but I was unable to test) and HDR 10+. Of note, there is no Dolby Vision support to be found. My projector doesn’t support that anyways, but it’s worth mentioning. Playback was handled fairly well. Playback start time rivals almost any player I’ve owned, being much faster than some older non-UHD blu-ray players. The simplicity buys speed and that’s a welcome in this always connected checking for updates world. Pausing a movie and coming back to it could cause stuttering. Obviously the disc drive spun down in what is likely a power saving move, but likely unnecessary for anything but an EPA rating. Everything was drama free and it decoded my Bumble Bee movie gloriously. HDR 10+ worked flawlessly after a bit of a blank and display (which is a handshake that goes through my receiver to my projector that takes its time switching). Dolby Atmos bitstreamed perfectly from the disk. Detail was crisp and clear in both the audio and video side - reflecting their raw digital nature. Plugging in the normal BD, this also worked flawlessly in FullHD with Atmos streaming. Upscaling of the video looked good, but it’s hard to analyze what technology is in use. Overall the picture was definitely crisp, but only 1080p. The upscaling definitely made it look better than the raw blu-ray. So either UHD or FHD BD’s look excellent for a movie room. For my use case this is a god-send. A low maintenance, simple, fast UHD BD player is light years better than waiting for my Xbox One S to update and launch (and now I can relocate it and use it for more gaming). Overall this is a surgical device that correctly and precisely plays blu-ray disks. For that use case, it excels.

Panasonic 4K, 3D, Blu-ray, DVD
My experience using this product is new for me for I never had a player that did so much. The quality of picture for 4K is superb and so is the sound quality. Blu-ray and DVD pictures are improved from their corresponding players. For the price I would definitely recommend. In addition, I bought mine as a open box and after a few months the player stopped working properly. I contacted Geek Squad and the manufacturer and I was able to receive a new player. *Expect some Good Use from this Product*

Good device. Great quality.
Very happy with the device. Great quality. I hate how slow are all the devices to boot up and start reading BR, and this one is no exception. But i would buy it again.

Solid, but sluggish
Solid but sluggish budget player. Looks great but remote is cheap feeling, inputs are slow and control feels sluggish. Displays 4k and blurays well.

Rudimentary interface, vibrant 4K and 3D output
Ok, to start off, this blu-ray player doesn't have much physical presence in comparison to it's sleek, shiny, multi-function peers. It's a black box, two physical buttons on top (open / close and power), blu-ray tray, USB port, and power indicator on front. In back is the power cable, LAN port, and single HDMI port. It comes with a power cord, remote, and batteries. Overall a compact black box with the bare basics. A few important things to note, this player doesn't have wifi enabled, so no streaming or built in assistant, and if you need to update firmware, you'll have to dig out your ethernet cable and tether it to a modem. The upside is that setup is plug and play. The home screen gives the user four options - video, music, photo, and setup. For each type of media the options are to play from disc or USB. Overall a simple format that is easy to navigate. If you don't mind trading off the bells and whistles for a phenomenal 4K output, this blu-ray player may be for you. This player boasts HDR optimization and supports multiple HDR formats from HDR10, UHD, and HLG, up to HDR10+. I have tested it with my 4K projector as well as my 65" 4K 3D TV, both producing high quality images that capture breathtaking color vibrancy (tested with Planet Earth II 4K UHD) with high quality depth and texture. A few other features to note are high-res quality sound and 3D playback capabilities that supports depth control. I found disc playback and processing was a bit noisier than I prefer, but not to the point of being a detractor. Overall, I was underwhelmed with the interface, I miss having wifi, but I was highly impressed with the quality of image from TV, DVDs, Blu-Ray, 3D, and 4K Ultra HD.
